Despite Trump's inflammatory rhetoric, violent crime in D.C. has actually dropped to a 30-year low. The district's justice system is working, with swift arrests made in this case and ongoing efforts to address juvenile crime through specialized police units and community programs. Federalization should not be on the table.
